The Core Difference: Data vs Decision
Tradytics gives you exotic market data — options flow, dark-pool prints, political-trade tracking — and lets you decide what to do with it. Its edge is the feed.
Tradewink consumes market, news, filing, and macro data and turns it into scored trade plans you review — on the dashboard, in Discord, or alongside Claude via MCP. Tradewink's public offering is paper trading only; Paper Autopilot runs signals in a simulator or paper/sandbox account. Its edge is the decision-support layer.
If you love reading the tape, Tradytics is the better fit. If you want AI to turn data into trade plans you review before deciding, Tradewink is the fit. Some traders run both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tradewink a replacement for Tradytics?
Not a one-for-one swap. Tradytics is best-in-class for raw data — options flow, dark pool prints, congress trades, insider filings — with a Discord community around it. Tradewink overlaps on AI signals and Discord but works differently: it writes up trade plans you review, runs Paper Autopilot in a simulator or paper/sandbox account, and exposes your watchlist, market data, and AI analysis through an MCP bridge for Claude, Cursor, or VS Code (any order tools act only on paper or sandbox accounts and need your explicit confirmation). Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. Some traders use both.
Does Tradewink have options flow data?
Not currently. Tradewink's options-flow signals are paused for all plans, and it does not ingest an options-flow or dark-pool feed or present an options tape the way Tradytics does. It does compute options context such as IV rank internally. If you need the raw scanner with every print, Tradytics is the better tool for that workflow.
Does Tradewink have dark pool or congress-trade tracking?
Not currently. Tradytics specializes in those exotic data sources. Tradewink focuses on signal generation, trade plans, and MCP tooling, and paper trading with Paper Autopilot — the market, news, filing, and macro data it uses feed its analysis rather than being surfaced as a separate feed.
How is pricing different?
Tradytics charges around $69/month for its flagship Pro tier with the full data stack. Tradewink has a free tier (up to 3 delayed AI signals a day) and paid tiers from $19/month: Starter adds real-time delivery and email + webhook alerts, while Pro and Elite add REST API access and deeper analysis routing. The right pick depends on whether you want more raw data or AI-written trade plans.
Can Tradewink execute trades from Tradytics signals?
No. Public subscriptions are paper-only; separately approved private beta accounts may submit live broker orders. Tradytics doesn't publish a signal webhook that Tradewink consumes. If you get an idea from a Tradytics Discord alert, for public-plan users, any real trade is your own decision, placed by you at your broker. Tradewink's own signals can run through Paper Autopilot in a simulator or paper/sandbox account; broker connections are limited to paper or sandbox accounts.
Which one has better Discord alerts?
Both ship Discord as a first-class surface. Tradytics' alerts are data-driven (flow alerts, sweep alerts, dark-pool prints). Tradewink's alerts are trade-decision-driven (entry, stop, target, confidence label, and reasoning). Different flavors of the same channel.
